Getting rid of that huge 6V lead acid battery and using my NP-F960 camera batteries with the Minelab GP-Extreme metal detector. The voltage regulator was adjusted with the onboard potentiometer to output a voltage of 6.8 Volts.
1x F-970 battery plate
1x Step-Down Switching Voltage Regulator D-SUN MP1584EN
1x 6.35mm audio socket
I also added the Fusion 360 file in case you need to modify it for your parts.
